Kacchan is in the lunch line and he sent me to scout for a table. Most of them are already taken, but I find an empty one and spread my cold out to ward away the students.

I see Kacchan leaving the line, and I start to shout and wave for him, but Ashido and Kirishima approach him, I'm assuming to invite him to their table.

He glances at me, and gestures me over to him while going to their table.

I'm a bit irritated that he decided to sit with them instead of me, but I brush it off since I'm going to be sitting with him anyways.

I phase my way through the crowd, trying not to move too fast as to not spook Kacchan, when Kirishima swings his arm around Kacchan's shoulders again.

He also has his arm around Ashido, but still.

I'm in front of him in a flash, releasing my visibility to Kacchan and instead letting Kirishima see me.

He almost yelps in surprise, but I clamp one of my hands over his mouth, using my physical cold power on him slightly as warning, and use my other hand to remove his arm from Kacchan.

I stare him in the eyes, embedding the feeling of my deathly cold into his memory.

"Don't touch." I say, moving behind Kacchan, turning on my visibility, and hugging him. He glances at me, mouth slightly quirking into a smile before he whips it back into the usual scowl.

When he looks back to the front, I put my finger over my mouth and look back to Kirishima, pressing the place where I had grabbed his arm yesterday, where I knew it had a dark mark in the shape of my hand on it.

His eyes widen, but he still remains quiet.

I smile at him before giving a little wave and releasing my visibility to him.

We make it to Ashido and Kirishima's lunch table, and are greeted by Kaminari and Sero.

Kacchan sits down at one end of the table and I take the seat next to him, giving off cold for two reasons.

One, to keep people from trying to sit through me.

Two, to intimidate Kirishima, who is currently sitting in the seat on my other side.

Kacchan's classmates jump right into conversation, and I contemplate putting extra salt in Kirishima's food.

I decide against it, because he's a nice guy, he just needs to stop being so touchy feely.

I listen to them talk for a little while longer until a siren goes off, announcing a breach, and plunging the cafeteria into chaos.

The students start to rush out, and Kacchan gets swept away, I start to panic, trying to go after him, but with all of the students running through my, he escaped my sight.

I start releasing my cold, both the feeling, and physical lowering of temperature, gliding upwards and searching for Kacchan.

I can't find him and I get scared, my grip on my ghostly powers slipping quickly.

The windows start to frost up, and the lights begin flickering.

A slightly rational thought breaks through the hurricane of fear, and I desperately hold onto it.

A boy flies through the air and yells something I don't hear, as I'm still searching for Kacchan.

I let out enough of the cold feeling to get people to stop moving and making noise, and I shout for him. "Kacchan!"

I hear explosions and some of the crowd instinctually moves away from them, so I spot him and let the cold fade away, immediately gliding to Kacchan and latching onto him.

The students around us had their attention on a Iida, standing on top of a sign and trying to get people to calm down.

Too bad I already did that for him. He does make a great class president though.

In my panic, it seems that I accidentally boosted my visibility level, so now everyone could see me. Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Ashido had made their way towards Kacchan in the rush, so now they saw me, clinging onto Kacchan, and him hugging me back, less intensely.

Comment, I'm lonely.
